Of course, if the United States is willing to provide Sherman tanks, M-3 half-track armored vehicles, and other armored vehicles, he will also accept it. Although these two weapons are not as powerful as those produced by Sud, they are still enough to deal with little Japan. It would be a bit pretentious to refuse. Moreover, some high-quality American armor steel can be saved for reserves, and he will not be too fanciful.
But if you want to save trouble and convenience, and give all your hopes and material sources to the Americans. If he does not take advantage of this rare opportunity to establish the Chinese people's own defense industry system, Yang Zhen believes that he is tantamount to committing a crime against the entire Chinese nation.
Therefore, Yang Zhen still insists on producing what he can and produces as much as possible. Those who can imitate will definitely not wait for charity from foreigners. If you can produce it yourself, do whatever you can to produce it. Not only the equipment, but also the raw materials for producing these equipment must be produced by ourselves.
The reason for doing this is not that Yang Zhen was worried about repaying the debt after the war. Because he had no intention of paying for the war materials provided by the Americans after the war. Britain and the Soviet Union, the two largest recipients of aid, both failed to pay back their debts after the war. Naturally, China, which is impoverished and destitute, should not pretend to be the big one.
As for whether the Americans will charge this account to the National Government like the aircraft they provided last time, that is not his concern. Yang Zhen thought that although the Nationalist government worshiped foreigners and was a little too dependent on Americans, it was not so bad that it had to pay for the assistance it received.
In addition to wanting to take advantage of this opportunity and establish its own military industry. The main reason is that he does not want the weapons and equipment he can produce to squeeze out the Americans' share of the supplies provided to him. In fact, Yang Zhen has already planned in his mind the types of supplies he will ask for from the Americans.
Yang Zhen knows very well that when that time comes, Americans will not be too stingy. Although the most advanced technology is naturally not given to yourself. But some second-rate technologies and the latest industrial equipment are enough to benefit China, which has almost no heavy industry.
Since the Americans were able to give the Soviets the most urgently needed hundreds of thousands of the latest machinery and equipment during the Soviet-German War, they must not be too stingy with themselves. After all, its industrial capabilities are far inferior to those of the Soviet Union, and it does not pose any threat to the Americans. Americans should have no more worries about themselves than they do about the Soviets.
These things are coupled with the industrial system established by the Japanese in Northeast China. As long as it is run properly and planned well. By the time World War II is over, the Chinese industrial production capacity will definitely have a major development. At least we will no longer pay an extremely heavy price for industrialization as we know in history. It will not be like the so-called golden decade of the National Government. Except for some light industries, the production capacity of heavy industries has not been fundamentally improved, but has dropped a lot.
Use the machinery, equipment and military raw materials aided by the Americans to produce Soviet artillery and tanks. When World War II is over, everything that should be done will be in place. Another one turns his face and refuses to acknowledge anyone, pulls up his pants and refuses to acknowledge his fault. In all of China, I am afraid that Yang Zhen is the only one who dares to think this way.
No matter what kind of changes this history will have after your arrival. Anyway, Yang Zhen has already determined one thing, that is, there are a lot of things that are needed in the rental materials. You must take what you should take with a clear conscience. But the debts that need to be repaid after taking these materials and equipment will definitely not be paid back at all.
In order to obtain as much machinery and equipment urgently needed for industrial development as possible, and to control the wartime blood vessels in one's own hands, the most important thing is to ensure that one's own troops are not subject to any restrictions when needed, and to allow the Daqing Oilfield to be put into production ahead of schedule. , for Yang Zhen, this is almost a must. And once these oil fields are put into production, they will bring more than just these benefits.
Presumably, its own oil production and oil smelting industry suffered heavy losses during the war, and petroleum products could hardly meet the needs of the Soviet army. If it were not for the high-quality gasoline and diesel aided by the Americans, the Soviets, who could hardly afford to supply their large armored forces, would be willing to pay some price in exchange for the military oil they desperately needed. Of course, if the Americans were willing to pay for the Soviets, Yang Zhen would not refuse. However, Yang Zhen hoped to exchange oil for some new Soviet weapons and equipment.
¡°I just don¡¯t know if Yang Zhen¡¯s plans were known to Pearson, the American representative to the Anti-Japanese War, who was being recruited back to China to report on his duties. Would he be so angry that he vomited blood? If Pearson knew that this guy had not only started plotting against their great United States, but also had no repayment for these materials after the war, would he directly list the Anti-Japanese Alliance as a target of loan material aid? Kicked off the list?
Of course, even if Yang Zhen was beaten to death, he would not tell anyone about these things. And naturally he doesn't know what's in his heartGuo Bingxun, who had some dirty thoughts, saw that he was talking to him. One moment he had vowed to promise him a big oil field next year, but the next moment he suddenly became absent-minded. He thought he had something else on his mind, so he didn't dare to disturb his thoughts.
It wasn¡¯t until Yang Zhen woke up from his reverie that he saw Guo Bingxun in front of him had hung up the combat map in his hand. Feeling that he was distracted when talking to Guo Bingxun, Yang Zhen said in a somewhat embarrassed tone: "Lao Guo, I'm sorry. I just thought of something and was a little distracted. That's where you just said it, let's continue."
Seeing that Yang Zhen finally came to his senses, Guo Bingxun said unconcernedly: "No. 1, it's nothing. I just talked about the impact of the current situation in the Soviet Union on us. But what kind of fight can the Soviets and Germans have? It's still unclear. It¡¯s not time for us to worry. I think we should focus on the battle we are about to start.¡±
"No. 1, Wang Guangyu and Chen Hanzhang's troops currently on the western front have all arrived. Du Kaishan's troops on the middle line have been assembled. Wang Xiaoming and Tao Jingfei's troops on the eastern front have also arrived at the designated attack location one after another. All troops We have arrived at the designated combat area in accordance with the headquarters' requirements and concealed our strategic intentions. Now we should determine the final time to launch the attack."
"The central government has sent a call to inform that the reorganized Jirecha advancing army has been reorganized. The Taihang Military Region and the 129th Division, newly organized into the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, have arrived at the designated areas. The Jirecha advancing army has begun to move northward one after another. Prepare to launch an attack on the puppet territory of Jehol around July 15th.¡±
"At the same time, in order to contain the possible reinforcements of the Japanese North China Front Army and the Mongolian garrison to the Kwantung Army, the troops of the Jizhong Military Region, the Jinsui Military Region, the Shandong Column, the 115th Division, and the Taihang Military Region, in addition to the troops staying in the north, , will launch a second hundred-regiment war against the Japanese army and carry out large-scale raids on the Jinpu Line, Longhai Line, and Pinghan Line."
"According to the current equipment and training level of the Kwantung Army, as well as our original combat plan. Before the Kwantung Army launches the Battle of Jehol, our army should launch an attack first in order to attract and contain the main division of the Kwantung Army and relieve the Kwantung Army. pressure."
"No. 1, in view of the current level of training and equipment of the Kanai troops, according to the plan, we will still be the main force in the entire operation. The actions of the Kanai troops should be carried out based on the progress after we launch the attack. After all, the Kanai troops originally focused on guerrilla warfare. This kind of head-on combat is not what the Kanai troops are good at.¡±
"And the time they received new training was too short. Although their equipment has been greatly improved, there is still a big gap compared with the Japanese army. Even in the direction of Jehol, it is quite difficult for them to undertake the main combat tasks. . But the problem now is that the central government has decided on the time for the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region to launch an attack.¡±
"For us, it is still difficult to determine whether we can attract the Japanese troops on the Jehol frontline before the 15th. Because our scheduled attack launch time is July 13th, which is five days later. In this way Yes, we seem to be in a hurry in terms of time or actions.
"If we want to reach Linxi from the Aershan frontline within two days, let alone the blocking of the Japanese and puppet troops along the way. The march distance of just a few hundred kilometers makes it difficult for our army to complete the task within the stipulated time. Once the Japanese and puppet troops encounter an obstruction, it may be more difficult to determine the time. "
"The current headquarters of the Japanese 23rd Division in Linxi is at the junction of Xing'anxi Province and Rehe. Judging from the intelligence we have received so far, since the end of June, the Kwantung Army Headquarters has obviously accelerated its response to the Second The addition of the 13th Division. At the same time, the 23rd Division has stopped harassing the Outer Mongolia area and is making every effort to restore its original strength. "
"Although the 23rd Division has not yet fully recovered its strength before withdrawing south, its vitality has been restored to at least 80%. Its lost heavy equipment has also been replenished. If our troops in Guan launch an attack into Rehe, , the 23rd Division stationed on the Linxi front line will be a powerful opponent of our army in the pass. "
"Judging from the equipment and training of the internal troops currently received, as well as the total force prepared to be used in the direction of Rehe. I am afraid that at least for now, it is not the 23rd Division and the attached 24th Division. Although it cannot be said that the opponent has no ability to fight, he will definitely pay a very heavy price."
"You know, decisions on the battlefield are not determined by equipment alone. The battle situation on the Soviet battlefield can explain everything. The combat effectiveness of the Kwanai troops is comparable to that of the elite Kwantung Army such as the 23rd Division. There is still a big gap. Even if we win, it will probably be a miserable victory.¡±
"If our army cannot seize the opportunity to seize the troops inside the customs in the heatBefore the entire territory is deployed, attract the Japanese 23rd Division currently stationed on the Linxi front line. I'm afraid that even if the customs troops can accomplish their intended goals, the casualties will be quite high. This is inconsistent with our original intention to report to the Central Committee that the first phase of the customs force would first focus on the puppet Manchukuo army as its main combat target in order to gain practical experience as soon as possible.
